citizen of 'the vUnited States, residing at Port Townsend, in`thecountyofdeiferson and State :of Washington,4 have invented certain-lnew and usefulvlmprovementsin Dish-lVashers, of whichthe following aspecification.

-Il -Y i v Y I This invention relates to dish washers and is designedparticularly to construct a de-` vice o ythis class which :will fcleansethe dishes by the circulation of water,- soaped or otherwise, about -thedishes.

The ob'ect of this invention isifto construct a evice ofthistypeandchar'acter.) f in which it is possible to setthe 'dishes -on uard thesame from edge if so desired and also at the same `time the agitator.

Vifith Athe above and other objects in View .this invention'c'onsists ofthe construction, combination and-arrangement of parts all ashereinafter more fullydescribed, claimed and illustrated' 'n theaccompaiiyingA drawin s,` wherein:

`igure 1 is a central longitudinal section of a washer construct ed inaccordance'with the present invention'tFig. 2 a central', transversesection with the agitator removed; Fig. 3 is a top plan view of oneextremity of the Washer illustra ting the mannei'in which the guards arelocated in the vessel g Fig.v 4'4is'- a perspective View of the upperguard; Fig. 5

.the lower guard.

'is u similar view of The Washer 'forming the subject-matter of thepresent invention comprises a rectangular receptacle spaced therefrom byor vessel 1 -having the brackets 2 the removable bottom said bottombeingprolvided with a plurality. of perforations .4.

'llie'false'bottom-is. also provided with a central openi-n throughwhich-extends the.

'rod said. ro at its lower extremity having a transverse plate 6 thatpermanentl attaches to the bottom of the -receptac e 1.

At one extremity of the rectangular vessel 1 and between the falsebottom 3 and the bottom of the vessel outlet being adapted outlet 7,vsaid closed vby the is an to be plu 6 carried on the exterior of thevessel 1. llhis 'outlet permits the water to be'. drained from thevessel and also all dirt and like foreign matter to be removed from Athe interior' of the vessel with the-water. An agitator comprising at-ubulurrmember 9 having a handle 10 a t one extremity and a I 4.trinisve'rse -plate. 11,-A at other is adapted fto reciprocate on therod-5 by the latter .This construction of an agitator prevents anydisplacement ot 'the sam'e and also causes the waterto be thoroughlycirculated through the entire vessel,` which action will remove dirtfrom the articlesl contained within the said vessel.

Located transversely Ion the false bottom 3 is the angle iron 12 securedto said false bottom by bolts passing through the arm ofthe angle ironresting` against said bottom. The other arm of the anglev iron r12 isprovided'with'a series of Aopenings 13 in horizontal alinement. isspacedon' the false bottom 3 towardleach end of the kvessel from the' 'angleiron 12v and formsa means whereby the dishes contained 1in the vesselmay be retained onedge. Lo-

bcing received within the tubular member 9.

A -similar-angleiron 14 cated -in direct vertical alinement above theangle/iron 14' are the brackets 15 so constructed that one terminalthereof is secured to thelongitudinal sides of the vessel 1 whilctheopposite terminal thereto is bent inwardly and has formed in therupper'end' thereof the recess 16.

" v*An upper and a lower guard indicated in general as' A and Brespectively are carried in the brackets 15 on each side ofthe agitatorand provide a means for retaining the dishesy from contact with-thelatter-and also supply a means of holding the dishes in verticalposition. These guards comprise an angular wire frame 17 having formedat fright' angles thereto the arms 18, at' the lower extremity of whichare the hooks 19. The lower guard .B is constructed exactly simil lar inVall respects to the `upper guard with the exception thatthe arms 18thereofv are' shorter than the arms 18 of the lattery and are spacednearer the extremities of the frame The frame 17 is'so'constructed thatwihen the .corners thereof 'oppositely dis posed -to the arms 18 and 18lare held -in the recesses 1G of @the brackets 15, the longitudinal sideof the frame carrying the arms 18 and 18 will be approximately .invertical alineinent with the arm of the angle iron 12 in whichis formedthe openings 13. Thus it will be seen "that the hooks 19 are placedwithin the openin 13 andl the arms and the frame are hel in the recess16 of the bracketsl forming a substantial guard for thc agitato'r. j f fe From the foregoing it will readily be through and aboutthedishescontained' from Awhich it can bev drawuthrou h thev sell oragainst the lower guard B.

seen upon the vertical reciprocation of the agitator, the water will becirculated Within the rectangularvessel l causing all dirt tov beremoved therefrom and .sifted through the false bottomB intothe spacebetween the sameiand the bottom of the l-vessel opening 7 The dishes maybe place upon end within thevesselbyresting one edge against the angleironv 14 and the other either against tlie` transverse end .of the.ves'- 'lIt will also be seen that theremovable feature of the falsebottom and the guards and the simplicity.v of the construction thereoffacilitates the cleansixigand the sanitation ofv the device.-
